KB45 motors

[hse32]

Which motor is better KB45-8XL (1600kv) or KB45-8L (2300kv)
I planning to run it on ezrun 150a esc and 4s and 6s batterys

2300kv http://www.*********.com/*********/s...idProduct=4938

I would go with the 1600, after I varified that it fit.

[cyber_06_wolf]

they are a lot larger motors diameter wise than a typical 540 motor. therefore more torque, so really you could probably get away with the 2300kv. what i dont know is if it'll fit, im pretty sure i read a long time ago the bolt pattern WONT work with a typical e-revo motor mount. you'd have to custom drill the holes i do believe.

Those motors will not handle the rpm's like smaller, higher quality motors. If you run the 2300 on 6s, you are asking for a meltdown.

[cyber_06_wolf]

i didn tsee that he was gonna run 6s...ive never seen someone run one on 6s. They are supposedly rated for 36volts max, i would say no more tahn 6s...but like you said, they will probably heat up a lot. I believe they were meant for boats where a water cooling jacket is available.....

Any other motor in the same price range with the same performance

[asheck]

I know it's not really in the same price range, but I would try a CC neu, Flux or ERBE motor. I run the Flux, which I picked up on Ebay for 100.IMO There isn't really a good cheap motor for these.

[Revo¹]

I would also try to stick to 36mm motors, since the larger 45mm+ motors can cause fitment issues, or not even fit at all.

people have put the motor in the revo with no mods

So if you know it fit's whatcha waiting on ? Do the 1600 and have fun.
